Re-Using Datasets inside the Same SQL Dashboard

Hi folks, I am creating a SQL dashboard and want to know if I can re-use datasets within the same dashboard. 

The screenshot below captures what I would like to do pretty well, but to summarize... I need to run an computationally expensive query and want to visualize those results in a figure on the dashboard. I then need to aggregate that table further to create additional figures. Is there a way I can call the first query again so that my SQL warehouse does not need to run that expensive first query twice?

You should be able to do it by using static widgets as mentioned in docs https://docs.databricks.com/en/dashboards/index.html#static-widget-parameters

This still needs a solution. @Walter_C gave a reference to having two visualizations use the same dataset. This question (and my current problem) is about referencing a SQL dataset as if it was a view inside another SQL dataset in the dashboard. Dataset "my_agg" references dataset "my_raw" in the same dashboard (this is before any visualizations are defined, so parameters and widgets have no bearing yet).
